Breaking News.......They ALL Lie !!!

The new congress is going to have to EARN the trust of fiscal conservatives this time and show that their primary concern is for their constituants and the future well being of the country. They will only be able to earn this trust through their ACTIONS, not just lip service. I am personally too jaded to believe they will do it, we'll see.

P.S. TERM LIMITS

actually, if they promised 100B on a fiscal year and they can only control how much is spent on half of that fiscal year due to how the timing and previous congress worked and they cut 50B or close to... that seems like they are keeping their promise.

in fact it shows they actually made a difference while the previous group of buffoons ****************ed up.

$50 billion? not bad. Only another $950 billion to go. There going to have to chase down a lot of welfare moms to come up with that a trillion in loose change.
That $14 trillion of national debt will be gone in no time at $50 billion a year....just another 70 years...if course we balance all future budgets...right!

1. Democrats can not be counted on.
2. Republicans can not be trusted.
3. Democrats make doing business difficult.
4. Republicans make doing business dangerous.
5. Neither has the sligthest idea what to do.

I agree to an extent. but we gotta start somewhere. if we can at least get the idea of spending cuts rooted that will be a start.

as far as who knows what they are doing... i doubt anyone does we haven't been in this situation in our lifetimes.

if you are going to start, start for real. If you fool everyone into thinking that taking a half inch chip or two out of a 40 ton boulder will actually lead to a legitimate cost cutting process that sustains and snowballs then you are not one bit better off than had you done nothing.

Ten years later people will say, "Gee we're bankrupt and in default? What about those $500 billlion in spending cuts over the last decade?"
"ummm that's how much the deficit went up by just this year"
"oh...well that sucks..."

A real start would involve a detailed plan on how the biggest parts of the boulder will be dismantled (social security, medicare, defense) or shifted to private sholulders. That's the crucial part. We've seen NOTHING of the sort. Until that occurs we only have phoney starts. Time for people to start governing like one termers. It's really that simple every Congress person should take a one term pledge. That will part the the pretenders from the believers in a snap of the fingers.
We've all seen this "this time we're serious" movie a dozen times. Show me the money not the pocket lint.

I enjoy your vim and clearness.
1- Eliminate Congress
2- Eliminate all politicians.
3- Bring back Caesar!
All I hear is about 100 billion dollars what is that going to do? Plug the Titanic
